This series is going to create new fans of classical music!

Greetings from Argentina. It is impressive and wonderful to listen and see this video, with so many notable people from the world of audio and music, and to know the technological marvel that they have achieved, congratulations!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Obviously, DG's great historical trajectory was once again revealed, at the pinnacle of quality audio, with this long-awaited international breakthrough. I am neither an engineer nor a technician, I am an audiophile who has worked in the pro world and was sure that one day the old analog records could be improved in pure analog form. I have a few vintage DG vinyls that were my parents' forty to fifty years old and while some are a bit weathered from the old stylus used when I was a kid, I still listen to them. How I would like this material to arrive in these southern lands and to be able to buy the same masterful vinyl records by Karajan, Yepes, Vivaldi, Beethoven, etc. again. Would be wonderful. It would be very interesting, if you are so kind, to know an opinion from the wonderful engineers Rainer and Sidney, on what needle cut they would recommend to reproduce these new Original Source Series vinyls. It would be an important opinion for audiophiles. Thank you very much in advance and please flood the world with vinyls from this new series.

So great discussion. I enjoyed every one of these 93 minutes. There seems to be so much passion in this hole project - I am so impressed, just wow! Anyhow, what Rainer and Sidney-Claire are doing for the classics genre, is absolutely incredible. Big thumbs up!

I now own five of these original source LPs and I return to them over and over. Simply thrilling to listen to. It feels like the musicians are right in the room and zero listening fatigue, even on my modest mid range system.

Thanks for a great discussion. I'm looking forward to more coming in the series!

Thank you for this great overview discussion. I suggest a larger printing and not a low number limited edition. Interest in this series is world-wide. Identify the best and bring it all out.

I'd love to see the Karajan Beethoven Symphonies boxed set become part of this series! Make it happen, please, DG!

Great to hear about all the great work and detail that goes into these amazing recordings are releases.

WHY cant we have blu-rays of the original quad recordings in THAT format?????

Great project - by skipping the 1/4 inch tape step, as well as implementing the different stylus geometry (shibata-like?) and other improvements, these are bound to sound much better than anything released at the time. Looking forward to a listen! As a fan of both analogue and (high resolution) digital, I would also love to see those copied to 4-channel SACDs, so you can have each separate channel in the final format, without downmixing.

2023. DSD256. That's all folks!

👏👏👏

I'm so tired of record companies asking customers to buy the same discs over and over again. I know it is voluntary, but still. I bought the Mahler 5 with Karajan when it was first released and also later CD versions. I also bought the Blu-tay release in the series DG calls Pure audio, And now... no thanks. Also, if these new ones are so much better why have you produced sub par editions for so many years?

DG? The company that said that vinyl has 40 dB maximum dynamic range?

In my ideal " audiophile world " today i would like these DGG tapes ( and others ) to bypass transfer yet again to those black vinyl discs and shiny smaller silver digital ones i have spent a lot of money on these past 50 + years . I would like to hear them copied directly as high quality transfers to high grade low / noise Reel to Reel tapes at a reasonable purchase price. Oh well i suppose i can always dream ! 😉😀

I have theory about analog sound and why it speaks to the soul and digital does not. Digital is not the sound wave in its natural state as is analog, I.E. oscillating with its natural curves. Digital bastardizes or chops it up, you might not "hear" it but you feel and understand it on a deeper level. I know about matrix Thomas. Thank you Thomas for quad and for the discussion here, very informative. i am still rocking a quad system with 4 AR2ax speakers. I want some real quadraphonic mix releases. PLEASE.

Very excited about this project. Will DG create DSD, SACD media for this collection?

I think this - and Taylor Swift's international tour - have been two of the biggest music events of the year (for me). Congratulations on the extraordinary first four titles. Please continue the series!

It's too bad these records are absurdly OVERPRICED VINYL and out of reach for most people who actually work for a living.

Lets talk about Le Sacre. I bought this in the 1980's. Abaddo and the LSO were the best thing ever. A visceral performance that converted me to Stravinsky. Fast forward to 90s. OK CD it is, a brave new world. No! it was a bitter disappointment. At the time I just did not understand. CD was supposed to be better right? Now I understand that this was just a cheap transfer of medium. Shame on DG. Now in 2023 a 'new and improved' vinyl edition is out. Maybe yes, maybe no. I would rather be tied on a slab in a dungeon in Transylvania with Vlad the Impaler about to use me to prove his thesis that the Marquis De Sade was but an amateur; than be gouged for another improvement - sorry DG but this is Cry Wolf.
